Classic Vujicsics originally released in 1988.
 Sung in Serb and Croat

Vujicsics ensemble was formed in 1974 in Pomaz, in the early days of the folk-dance revival in Hungary. The primary aim was to continue and revive the folk-music heritage of the Serbian communities in the Budapest region (Szentendre, Pomaz, Csobanka, Budakalasz). Later its scope was extended to the folk-music of the Croats of the Danube valley and southern Hungary, including field-work, arrangements, and performance, and the presentation as such of this diverse and colourful folk-music. The Vujicsics arrangements are characterised by respect for the heritage, and musicianship of a high order. Their repertoire, based on archaic traditions, now enjoys a respected place on the concert platforms of Hungary, Europe, and more distant continents.

"...People were dancing and singing there and Tihamér was playing his flute with our band. In the break he showed us how to imitate the sound of the bagpipe on the accordeon, on violin and on other instruments. We were also talking about the music and instruments a lot. After his death we felt we had to name our group Vujicsics and try to continue his work in our way. So, we are Vujicsics Ensemble from 1976..."
